The Best Budget Mic for Creators? FiFine AM8 Review & GIVEAWAY (ft. Tank3, K688, Q2U, PD200X)
The FiFine AM8 USB/XLR dynamic mic was made for gamers, creators and podcasters on a budget. To be very direct, FiiFine did a great job with making a usable mic that would work for a lot of people it was intended for! Yes, there are downsides to this mic, it is definitely not perfect, but it outperforms its price!

Autofocus for Your VOICE!!! | Lewitt Ray Review
Просмотров 3,3 тыс.2 месяца назад
THE FIRST OF ITS KIND! A Microphone with "voice autofocus!" It might sound a little weird, it may even sound gimmicky, but what I can tell you is that it is worth looking at! The Lewitt Ray brings new technology, "Aura," to XLR microphones. This mic features sensors on the front of it that can detect how far away you are and adjust the gain accordingly. I talk about the benefits, how it works, ...

In this video I go over the IsoVox IsoPop Broadcast Premium Pop Filter that is designed to fit on end address mics 3/4in to 2.36in in diameter (roughly the SM57 to the Samson Q9U). This pop filter is a cool idea! I have seen some similar concepts to it, but this one is a bit uniq...

MKH 50 Cheaper Alternative! Oktava MK-012 Test, Comparison, & Review (vs MKH50, MKH416, NTG3 & more)

"Is there a cheaper alternative to the Sennheiser MKH50?" I've been asked this plenty of times... and now there is a video answer/review! This mic is the Oktava MK-012-01 and this particular kit is the "movie set" kit. It is about 1/4th the cost of the MKH50, but it definitely doesn't sound 75% worse!

Maono PD200X USB / XLR Mic Review: Better than the FiFine K688? (ft: PD400X, PodMic USB, MV7 & more)
Просмотров 13 тыс.8 месяцев назад
The Maono PD200X is an XLR & USB mic in one! This is a dynamic mic with a cardioid polar pattern, and it is going to be a really great mic for a lot of content creators and gamers. This mic does have RGB lights on it, which some people will love, and some won't! This mic reminded me a lot of the FiFine K688 that I reviewed a little while back, so of course I do compare those mics in this video....

Awesome, connect 2 review coming soon? 🎉
Yep 😊 it is my next review!
Repent!
How does it stack up against a c16
C
Shockers to me: (1) Condenser sounds much more natural than the Dynamic version. Is this typical of C vs D? (2) Judging by your test at the start, the person speaking does not have to be as close to the condenser mic, whereas, with the D version you have to be almost touching it to get great sound. Am I understanding correctly? Thanks!
Hey Art! Everything you just said is relatively accurate... When it comes down to it, I would say you'd want to be closer to a Dynamic mic than a Condenser mic... but it definitely depends on the mic. On a lot of Dynamic mics, you would want to be 2 to 6 inches away. Whereas with a Condenser you'd want to be 4 to 8 inches away. So there is definitely some overlap, but with that said, on average you would probably be about 2 inches closer to a Dynamic mic. There is a constant debate about what sounds better: Condenser or Dynamic. Bottom line: I would just go with what product you like the sound of. I know, it sounds like a bit of a cop-out, haha... but I will say there are other factors that come into play with this. One of them is room treatment. If you are in a completely untreated, bad-sounding room, I would 100% get a dynamic mic! There are plenty of Dynamic microphones out there that sound more natural than a Condenser... but on a whole, you are correct. Condenser mics tend to have more of a natural sound, because a lot of them have an extended frequency response. However, what a company decides to do with the tone, can help or hurt the "sounding natural" aspect of it. In this particular video I absolutely agree with you! I do think the K669C sounds more natural than the K669D, and I would say that happens quite a bit when it comes to Dynamic vs Condenser, but not always!
Great review! I love this. I put on my studio headphones and there simply is no difference I'd say.
Great review! Are there any desktop microphone stands you like? I use a microphone a small percentage of the time and I'd rather just move it off my desk when I'm not using it. Thanks!
Hey! I really like the Rode DS2… but it is a little expensive for what it is, but I LOVE mine. DS2: amzn.to/3VMSxq3 If you don’t need it to horizontally move, the on stage quick release is great! On stage: amzn.to/4eA7Tqm Then you kind of have a mixer of the two with the innogear, except it does have the quick release like the on stage. Innogear: amzn.to/45J8VMI Hopefully this helps! Thanks for watching!
@@AudioHotline Thanks so much!
Plenty of these for $50 on eBay
Does the Tank3 sound a bit lightweight to you? Either lacking in bass, or, lacking in lower midrange / upper bass boost? Maybe it's just neutral whereas other microphones boost the lower mids & upper bass to get a "radio" sound?
is it possible either to connect second usb mic by USB 1 port?
Nope, it's just USB 2 that can be used for Rode USB Mics!
How do the bass and warmth compare among USB of AM8, Tank3 and K688? (And who makes up these model names?!!!).
Tank3 USB sounds more clear vs K688 USB which sounds warmer and richer. And, Tank3 XLR sounds way better to me than it's USB. Sigh.
Does FiFine have associated software? Does it stores settings in the microphone? Thank you.
Nope! Sadly it does not have associated software. The only way you’ll have your setting be the exact same is if you don’t touch any of the dials!
The 875r makes your voice sound FM DJ. Interesting.
If I get this mic for 150$ , would it be a good deal?
Yeah, I think that’s a good deal for this mic.
use mouth declick for the love of god I can hear the chili.
Chillllll…i 😈
@@AudioHotline LOL! At least brush your teeth if you're going to voice after lunch.
@@rudyabel4877 🤣 yeah, there was a period I was sick a lot but I tried to record through it. I can hear what you mean. I am surprised no one else has said anything… but I am glad 😂
@@AudioHotline I'm a voice actor. Mouth clicks are triggering.
@@rudyabel4877 lol! Fair enough! I feel like I am usually pretty good about them, this is a bad showing though.
Hello I bought the rode NT1 5TH generation and the A-1 sound card and the NTH100 headphones. But I'm having trouble connecting it. in fact when I connect the microphone via USB, the microphone is displayed on the different applications such as unify, rode connecte and rode central. But, when the USB cable is connected to the AI sound card and I connect it to the desktop, the A1 sound card, I have the sound but the microphone is not recognized by the application or the computer. This is actually my biggest problem. I can say that the microphone works when I connect it to the XLR since I have feedback via the headset but the microphone is not recognized by the computer application either. I want to know how to use my microphone and my sound card on my Windows computer.
The AI-1 is an audio interface. So you would connect an XLR cable to from the NT1 to the AI-1. If you want to use the NT1 as a USB mic, you don’t need to use the AI-1, you would just connect the NT1 5th gen directly to the computer! If you do want to use the AI-1, you would go XLR cable from the NT1 to the AI-1 then USB cable (that plugs into the back) of the AI-1. At that However, the AI-1 won‘t show whatever devices are plugged into it on connect, in fact the AI-1 does not connect to Rode Connect or unify. It does work with Rode Central, but for firmware updates. It just simply gives you a connection between the mic and the computer to be able to record into a DAW.
@@AudioHotline ok i will try thanks a lot
i am thinking about it to buy that mic
this mic is crazy hope so i can save up for the mic
All I can hear now is the other word and not peanutses 😂
In the video I didn't hear the that the top end is boosted much on Dynacaster, you didn't use a de-esser or similar post processing for the video?
All those mics sound sooo similar I had a hard time liking any of those in a blind test. I liked the Tannoy/Behringer only and barely gave an NT1 a pass.
Its pronounced "Nay-Dee".

18:49 The Cat: Did you fart? 😂
Thank you for posting the link to my review. I am just now seeing that you did that. I really appreciate it!
Im looking to get either the re20 or the ls208. I want it for recording rap vocals in an semi treated room. I have a baritone voice which of the 2 would be the best fit?
I love the RE20 and it is cheaper… but given your use case and would take the LS-208!
i was not convinced until you did the kitty pur test
Amazing Production Value! Your Voice sounds great on the DCM6
Took you 5 minutes to get to the point
The whole video is only 4 minutes…
I could already tell #1 was the best and #2 was close and the rest, no good! Great comparison.

amazing video !! i owned a fifine mic about 4 years ago and it was incredible !! sadly i had to sell it because money was tight, so winning one would be insane as i no longer can't stream or make videos because of it :(
4:05 Channeling your inner Ryan Reynolds. But I don't like type c. The port is so flimsy and the old fat type b was fine for this.
newbie here, how can i train my ear to hear those reverb? im using yamaha hs3
Hey! I would just keep listening and training your ear! I will say, my 3.5 in monitors (kali) lack the low end and high end of even my HS5 and the differences are much more difficult to hear… BUT repetition does help a bunch.
Can I beg you for a review of a microphone? I beg you!
